The latter allows the Suburban's ride height to be automatically and manually lowered or raised. The Suburban also can be fitted with adaptive dampers and an adjustable air suspension. While the latter only pumps out 277 horses, its 460 pound-feet of torque ties that of the bigger V-8. It gets a standard 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8, but it also can be equipped with the optional diesel 3.0-liter six-cylinder. A 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8 is the default engine on all but the top-tier High Country model. All of them hook up to a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĪ pair of V-8s and a diesel six-cylinder complete the Suburban's engine lineup. Given the choice of all three engines, we'd choose the diesel engine for its fuel efficiency and effortless muscle. It also includes desirable standard features such as a Bose stereo, leather-appointed first- and second-row seats, heated front seats with memory settings, and a power-operated liftgate. We'd recommend the RST for its sporty appearance that includes blacked-out exterior trim and 22-inch wheels. The Suburban's paint palette now includes metallic colors such as Auburn, Dark Ash, and Evergreen Gray.

GM's Buckle to Drive feature is now standard and prevents shifting out of park unless the driver and front passenger (if there is one) are buckled. its optional exterior camera system has been revised with up to 13 different views, including some for trailering. The Suburban also adds newly standard automatic high-beams, front and rear parking sensors, lane-keeping assist, and more. All but the base LS trim now features a customizable 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a revised infotainment system that's been enhanced with Google features such as a voice assistant, maps, and an app store. The Suburban sees a few changes for 2022, not least of which is expanded availability of the optional 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8 engine, now offered on the RST, Z71, and Premier trims. Despite some expensive options and the V-8 engines' mediocre fuel economy, the sophisticated 2022 Suburban is one of the best large SUVs and earned a place on our Editors' Choice list. We wouldn't spend big bucks on the fanciest model because it's not quite luxury-grade, but the middle of the lineup is the sweet spot with its combination of popular features and impressive capabilities. Regardless of what's under the hood, the huge SUV is remarkably nimble. The Suburban's trio of engines is another highlight, particularly the 420-hp V-8 and torque-rich diesel six-cylinder. We didn't catch the episode where Mike Brady pulls an 8300-pound trailer, but Chevy's largest three-row ute-the Tahoe ( reviewed separately) is the second largest-is up to the task. The 2022 Chevy Suburban has enough room to haul all eight members of the Brady Bunch in comfort.
